Summary

Story summary

Researchers at the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology measured neutrino-induced kaon production in argon using three years of data from the MicroBooNE experiment at Fermilab.
They identified eight kaon candidates from hundreds of thousands of neutrino interactions.
The measurement could advance understanding of proton decay.
It also supports future research at the Sanford Underground Research Facility, where the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) will take place.
